The private_key_jwt authentication is based on asymmetric key, the private part is generated and only known by the client whereas the public part is communicated and registered in the authorization server for the specific client.

The private_key_jwt authentication consists of creating a JSON structure containing the following login attributes:

Attribute

Example

Description

issdas-api-authIssuer: Client id
subdas-api-authSubject: Client id
audhttps://logindev.wipo.int:443/am/oauth2/access_tokenAudience: Token endpoint of the authorization server
exp1622450728Expiration time: The expiration time of the data, current time + small amount of seconds
(current epoch + 10s is ok)

ES256 signing algorithm + above attributes + signature of them must be served in JWT format (rfc7519), see below:

JWT client assertion header

Code Block
languageyml
linenumberstrue
{
  "alg": "ES256",
  "typ": "JWT"
}

JWT client assertion payload

Code Block
languageyml
{
  "iss": "das-api-auth",
  "sub": "das-api-auth",
  "aud": "https://logindev.wipo.int:443/am/oauth2/access_token",
  "exp": 1622450728
}

JWT client assertion signature

Code Block
languageyml
# Signature of the header and payload sections. 
# it is an array of bytes encoded in base 64

All parts are encoded and separated by '.' to make up the JWT as follows

The JWT client assertion can now be submitted to authorization server for authentication with the token endpoint (i.e. POST https://logindev.wipo.int:443/am/oauth2/access_token in the attached specification) including the following parameters for client_credentials:

Note
The above token endpoint is part of third party product that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 family of specifications


Info

Warning
titleCertificate to communicate to WIPO

After the generation of the es256 key, you will obtain the following files (or similar):

es256_cert.pemCertificate file that will be communicated to WIPO for the configuration of the private_key_jwt client authentication
es256_private.pemMust never be communicated and kept secret, used by the client to sign the private_key_jwt authentication request
es256_public.pemUsed only at the generation step, kept for record
openssl.cnfUsed only at the generation step, kept for record

As per the process, in order to register the Office key on WIPO systems, be aware that the file that has to be sent to WIPO is the one for the certificate (not the public key file)
